Background: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas compound that is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Carbon monoxide comes from incomplete combustion such as burning firewood.Firewood is the main fuel used in tofu manufacturing in tofu factories. Wood-burning smoke in the tofu plant contains CO gas capable of polluting the air, so it can cause disturbance in the form of reddish eyes, quick thirst, headache and shortness of breath. This disorder can occur in exposed to factory workers who are exposed to CO. Carbon Monoxide enters the body at a certain level of exposure causing changes in some of the body's molecules and ultimately disrupts the functioning of the body. One of the organs involved changes due to excessive CO exposure is the liver characterized by increased levels of enzyme Alanin Aminotransferase (ALT). Research Objectives: To analyze the duration of carbon monoxide exposure to the enzyme profile Alanin Aminotranferase. Method: Using Cross Sectional design with 34 respondents. serum of factory workers know checked ALT levels using Mindray BA-88Aspeculator. Data were analyzed using Spearman Correlation test. Result: Exposure time of CO to factory worker to know obtained mean (4.06 years), median (4.00 years), minimum value (1 year) and maximum (7 years). Levels of ALT enzyme in factory workers know obtained mean (33,82 U / L), median (33.00 U / L), minimum value (8 U / L) and maximum value (56 U / L). There is a long relationship of CO exposure to ALT levels (r = 0.783; p <0.001; n = 34). Conclusion: The longer the factory workers know exposed to CO, the higher the ALT level. Factory workers know to reduce carbon monoside exposure by changing jobs and pay attention to the use of personal protective equipment when working.

Monoxide (CO) bonds with blood are 200 times stronger than oxygen bonds with blood. When inhaled CO will be absorbed through the lungs following the blood circulation and binds to haemoglobin to form HbCO in the tissues which will block the entry of oxygen needed by the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of air CO levels with oxygen saturation (SpO2) in officers in Terminal Type B of South Kalimantan Province. This type of research is analytically using a cross-sectional design with a sample of 24 people. Data collection was carried out by interview, observation, CO measurement and SpO2 examination with Pulse Oximetry. The results showed that there was a relationship between air CO levels and the SpO2 of terminal officers with a significance value of 0.0025 (sig. <0.05). Even though the air CO level in the field is still far below the threshold, but the SpO2 level of officers is not healthy, the smoking habits of terminal officers cause it in the workspace, and the field with the number of cigarettes smoked as many as 11-20 cigarettes per day. There are more than 20 sticks per day, so prevention efforts are needed by providing and using PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for terminal staff in the form of masks and striving for the terminal team to stop smoking.

Pernikahan usia muda akan berlanjut dengan kehamilan usia muda. Akibat belum siapnya sistem reproduksi remaja untuk menerima kehamilan meningkatkan risiko untuk terjadinya komplikasi yang berpotensi meningkatkan angka kematian ibu dan bayi. Remaja dalam proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangan harus berbagi nutrisi dengan janin yang dikandungnya. Anemia kehamilan merupakan salah satu risiko yang akan dihadapi ibu hamil muda jika kebutuhan tubuh dan janinnya tidak tercukupi, selain itu keadaan psikologi remaja yang masih belum stabil dan siap dengan perubahan peran baru akan memicu terjadinya keguguran akibat stres. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memperoleh informasi hubungan pernikahan usia muda dengan keguguran dan anemia. Metode yang digunakan adalah Desain potong lintang, sampel 78 orang yang diambil secara simple random sampling. Pengambilan data dengan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner. Variabel terikat adalah pernikahan usia muda, variabel bebas adalah keguguran dan anemia. Analisis data dengan uji Chi Square. Hasil penelitian yaitu tidak terdapat hubungan menikah usia muda dengan keguguran tetapi terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara pernikahan usia muda dengan anemia (p<0,05). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa ibu yang menikah muda berisiko mengalami anemia kehamilan dibandingkan dengan ibu yang menikah pada usia reproduksi sehat. Young marriages will continue with young pregnancies. As a result of not being ready for the adolescent reproductive system to accept pregnancy increases the risk for complications that could potentially increase maternal and infant mortality. Adolescents in the process of growth and development must share nutrients with the fetus they contain. Anemia of pregnancy is one of the risks faced by young pregnant women if the body and fetal needs are not fulfilled, besides the psychological state of adolescents who are still unstable and ready for a new role change will trigger a miscarriage due to stress. The purpose of this study was to obtain information on the relationship of young marriage with miscarriage and anemia. The method used is a cross-sectional design, a sample of 78 people taken by simple random sampling. Retrieval of data by interview using a questionnaire. The dependent variable is young marriage, the independent variable is miscarriage and anemia. Data analysis with Chi Square test. The results of the study are that there is no relationship between young marriage and miscarriage but there is a significant relationship between young marriage and anemia (p <0.05). It can be concluded that mothers who marry young are at risk of developing pregnancy anemia compared to mothers who marry at a healthy reproductive age.

The study explored reasons for exercise as possible mediators of the relationship between body appreciation and exercise avoidance motivation and between body surveillance and exercise avoidance motivation. Using a cross-sectional design, 131 women with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher completed measures of body surveillance, body appreciation, reasons for exercise, and exercise avoidance motivation. Mediation analyses indicated that appearance-oriented reasons for exercise partially mediated the body surveillance–exercise avoidance motivation relationship. Health and fitness professionals, organizations, and environments should avoid reinforcing appearance-oriented reasons for exercise. Rather, empowering exercise experiences and environments should be created as they seem to benefit women regardless of reasons for exercise.
